Write a one- to two-page paper to answer the following questions. a What is the primary purpose of kernel I/O buffering? This is to address speed difference between two devices, if a file is received from a slow device to be transferred to a faster device (Hard disk), a buffer is created to to gather bytes received from the slower device, when the buffer is full it can then be transferred to the disk in a single operation. However, if the buffer is full and the slow device still needs to transfer additional data, a second buffer is created to accommodate the data. After the first buffer has been filled a disk write is requested, the slow device fills the second buffer while the first buffer is written into the disk. When the second buffer
